Fossil Wash Day

You have a role to play in the scientific process, searching for bone fragments and objects of interest in dirt excavated from the HMNS dig site near Seymour, Texas. Join us for a morning of fun as we get messy, washing and sorting approximately 1,000 pounds of red Permian dirt. You’ll have a great time expanding your knowledge at this behind the scenes event!
